“Therefore” hearkens back to 1:27
Overarching this whole message is Paul’s desire to see the mission of God be accomplished.
“Reconciling the nations to himself.”
Can this be done when there is constant infighting and disagreement about what to even do?
“In Christ” the seal of Paul’s apostolic authority
“fellowship with the Spirit” a common sharing with the Spirit should be the end to divisiveness.
A single minded church.
Same love, same feelings, same goal.
Rivalry and conceit can apparently be motivating factors.
How can rivalry affect how we act as Christians or as a church?
EXAMPLES
How can conceit affect what we do as a church?
EXAMPLES
The combination of rivalry and conceit could not epitomize our culture more.

5 Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus, 6 who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be used for His own advantage. 7 Instead He emptied Himself by assuming the form of a slave, taking on the likeness of men. And when He had come as a man in His external form, 8 He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death— even to death on a cross. 9 For this reason God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow — of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth — 11 and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
